Ken Rosenthal tweets that Roy Oswalt — the proud owner of a full no-trade clause — would use that clause to block trades to either the Tigers or the White Sox.

He doesn’t say why he doesn’t want to go to those two teams. He’s been reported to be exceedingly fond of life down south, though, so maybe he just doesn’t want to go to some northern city. Until someone tells me different, I’m going to choose to believe that it’s some long-simmering, three-way family vendetta that goes back 100 years involving The Guillen, Leyland and Oswalt families and something about the fabled trade route between Venezuela, Toledo, Ohio and Kosciusko, Mississippi.

Hmmm. He doesn’t mention the Twins. Who are apparently not getting Cliff Lee and might be more willing to make this happen instead.
Maybe Roy secretly desires to go fishing in as many of the 1,000 lakes as possible?
I just hope we don’t see a repeat of last year’s Jake Peavy Saga.
